The Angel at the Sepulchre.

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other
Mary to see the sepulchre.

And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from, heaven, and came and rolled
back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: and
for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He
is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his
disciples that he is risen from the dead and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I
have told you.

And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. —
Matthew xxviii, 1-8.
